Methods:Data on the epidemic, monitoring, prevention and control of malaria in Deqing from 1951 to 2015 were collected and analyzed by the method of descriptive research. Results:Totally 123 000 cases of malaria were reported in Deqing County from 1951 to 2015, and the annual average incidence was 529.61/100 000. There were 49 deaths with the mortality rate of 39.84/100 000. The epidemic peaked in 1960-1964 and reached its highest in 1963 with 21 942 cases and an incidence of 7825.25/100 000.
